Summary

Fix netflow source build instructions to include required enable flag. Files changed: docs/npm/network-flows/installation.md.

User Request

root@toolbox:/opt# ls -l /opt/netdata/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/netflow-plugin sudo journalctl --namespace netdata --since "2 minutes ago" | grep -iE 'netflow' sudo ss -unlp | grep -E ':(2055|6343)([[:space:]]|$)' ls: cannot access '/opt/netdata/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins...

Prompt (English)

Install the netflow-plugin on a Debian trixie system where netdata-plugin-netflow is not available via apt

Reason for Change

This change applies the specific user request using repository-truth evidence from the audit execution workspace.


Summary by cubic

Update Netflow plugin source-build docs: the plugin is disabled by default and requires ./netdata-installer.sh --enable-plugin-netflow; Rust 1.85+ is needed. Without the flag the plugin is skipped, helping users build it when netdata-plugin-netflow isn’t in apt (e.g., Debian Trixie).

Written for commit 2b6a374. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

…rk-flows/installation.md: the plugin is disabled by default and must be enabled explicitly, so the installer command now passes --enable-plugin-netflow. Removed the incorrect claim that the plugin is built automatically on Rust detection, and corrected the Rust toolchain minimum from 1.83 to 1.85 to match the workspace rust-version.
